Lyrics
0:09Ready for the war we got our boots strapped
0:11100 deep on state street where the troops at
0:14The mayor lying saying he didn't see the video footage
0:17And everybody want to know where the truth at
0:19On the south side where it's no trauma centers but the most trauma
0:22A lot of cannons but you don't want no drama
0:25I can't imagine if it was my own mama
0:27Got her first born son stole from her he never had a chance
0:30And we all know its cause he black
0:32Shot 'em 16 times how f**ked up is that
0:34Now the police superintendent wanna double back
0:37Cops speeding up to the block like a runnin' back
0:39Tension is high man these niggas is irate
0:42You can see it in they eyes they wanna violate
0:44Screaming out oink oink bang bang gang gang gang gang murder murder
0:48Murder they mind state
0:49I just made me a mil' and still militant
0:52This ain't conscious rap this sh*t ignorant ni**a hair trigger
0:55Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun

1:20They threw a little girl down on the pavement
1:23Pushed her with the bike and said stay out the way b**ch
1:26She was bleedin' on the ground through her braces
1:28This is what happens when niggas don't stay in their places
1:30The mayor duckin' when he fired the superintendent
1:33But resignation come with bonuses and recognition
1:36So we gon' break in the stores on magnificent mile
1:38And if we gotta go let's go to prison in style
1:41Cops killin' kids and stayin' out of jail
1:43But bobby shmurda can't even catch bail

3:49Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer
3:54Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer
3:59Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer
4:03The video shows laquan walking southbound down the middle of pulaksi
4:08There are squad cars visible in front of him and also squad cars behind him
4:13The shooter's squad car is visible as it drives past laquan
4:18Two officers then exit that vehicle with their guns drawn
4:22At that point laquan begins to look away from the officers
4:27At a southwest angle toward the sidewalk
4:30When laquan is about 12 to 15 feet away from the officers
4:36The width of an entire lane of the southbound traffic
4:39One officer begins shooting
4:41Laquan immediately spins to the ground
4:44And the video clearly shows that the officer continues to shoot laquan
4:48Multiple times
4:50As he lays in the street 16 seconds pass
4:54From the time laquan hits the ground
4:57Until the last visible puff of smoke rises from his torso area
5:02An officer then approaches laquan
5:05Stands over him and appears to shout something
5:08As he kicks the knife out of his hand
